Photopass - DVC Discount??

[tomandrobin]

How do you add ride photos to the photopass?

Some of the rides have an attended where the monitors are located. Just give them your photopass card and they will scan in the number. I know TestTack has the photopass option. I think EE does too.

How fast do you get the email code? I am close to 30 days and want to buy them before they are gone.

The code is emailed to you within a few minutes. Keep the email, print it out. It is the only verification you will get. You can also right it down after you pay for it.

One you get the CD can you take it to a local store and print the pictures? Do you have to have one of those release forms?

Thanks,

The cd contains a release form, if you need it.

There was a thread a while ago about some people having a really hard time printing their photopass pix at Wal-Mart - the store was refusing to do it w/out a printed copy of the release. I've haven't tried Wal-Mart myself; I just downloaded my photopass over to Shutterfly and made prints and a calendar - no problem!

We just used walmart, and simply uploaded the release with our photo order. Sure, it cost us .20 to do it, but it saved the hassles we've had in the past. Sometimes we've had no issues, sometimes my wife or I show up to pick up the order to be told they hadn't done it because they didn't have a copy of the release.

So by sending the release as a print......they've got no excuse.

Is there a limit to the number of pictures that can be loaded on your cd? I realize only so many will fit on the cd because of its space, but does Disney limit the number of pictures? If so, how many?

I understand that each CD will hold 300 photos. If you have more than that number, they will go on a second CD. There is no limit to the amount of pictures you can have on your CD. Photopass will use as many CDs as needed at no extra charge.

how do you even get up to 300 pictures - i hardly ever see anyone and we've never been asked if we want to have a pic taken when we did see someone.

the only pic we ever got was one taken during that dino ride.

There are photopass photogs literally crawling around the park. Almost every character meet and greet, all the park entrances, and MANY of the prime "photospots" have a photpass photog near them, now.

We ended up with well over 200 photos...maybe closer to 300. When my wife was done cropping the, embellishing them, etc, we had over 700 photos.

It's not too hard to fill those CD's!

Not sure the last time you were there Kurby, but when we went last summer they were everywhere, and in some cases asking if we had photopass and would like them to take a picture. All of the character meets had one standing there and they took multiple pictures during. Sometimes it was hard to get them out of the way so you could take your own. Another popular one is on Main Street with Cinderellas castle in the background.

In the past we didn't see that many, but I think they have changed that drastically now. I think we had 2 to 300 to choose from when we got back home.

I am currently buying the CD from XMAS-you would not believe how many wonderfull border options there are-since it is no extra charge to add more borders I have some of the same pic with 6 different borders. Once we get the CD we will see which ones we like the most and print them for XMAS cards and just keep the rest.

Can you add more than 1 photopass card to this CD?

Can you add more than 1 photopass card to this CD?

Yup. You can add as many to your account as you have.

We added 3, I think, including the special "Chef Mickey" code.

 

[Degli]

Do all the rides have access to the card? I would love to know that I can add the rides photos and print them out at home. Those prices are sooo marked up at the attractions.

What is the Chef Mickey code?
Also, since there is a group of us, can other members of the group get the same card and have that counted on the same account or does each one get a card with a different number and you add them all together later?

We will be traveling with friends can we add their card to our account?

Right now, only test track lets you add your ride photo to your photopass.

If you BUY the chef mickey photo package (the family photo they take at the begining of the meal), they'll provide you with a code that will also add the photos to your photpass account. Really, the code is basically a photopass unto itself. We asked about it and they gave us the code. It starts with EVNT, I think. You MIGHT have to ask when you buy, or they might just give it to you when you buy...not sure.

Yes. Just remember, the pics only last for about 30 days. And from what I've heard, you don't want to be editing pics on 2 computers at the same time. Causes "issues", I believe.

But Disney doesn't really care WHO'S photopasses you enter. If you check out the budget board here at the DIS, you'll see whole GROUPS of people "sharing" a prepurchased CD.
